The chart shows the percentage change in annual heating degree days for the period 2000–2015 (as compared to 1950–1979) for six Alaska communities. Every 1% decline in heating degree days could potentially yield $10 million of annual savings in heating costs. Source: University of Alaska Anchorage, NOAA NCEI, and ERT Inc.
